Each book contains an exciting story followed by a Fact File of fascinating information and activities, all based on a health theme. This book tells the story of Wati’s grandfather who is very sick with malaria. He tells the village one last story but what does it mean? Wati understands that her grandfather was made sick by the mosquitoes, so how can the village get rid of them? Fact File – Malaria – explains about the disease and how it is caused. It also looks at prevention and what can be done to keep it from spreading, as well as highlighting other insects which cause disease. The series is carefully graded into four language levels, with controlled language in both the story and the Fact File. The books are highly illustrated in full colour and each has a word list.
